Customer Reviews

Blastr winning the week!

by
DeaditeAsh

Great new podcast, Blastr! I dig the premise, and I love listening to people nerd out in a way that gets me excited for all of the new and fun things coming out.

As a female, I love having women represented on podcasts and programs like this, but Cher isn't a great example for us. She spends a lot of time talking about how hot actors are, instead of learning more about things she's not as educated on, & interrupts a lot. Ciera and Jill both really knew what they were talking about, and seemed to be enjoying themselves!

Keep up the great stuff, Blastr!

Get your geek on

If you're looking for a quick hitting, snarky but fantastic weekly wrap up show on all things geek and nerdy, then look no further. Aaron Sagers hits it out of the park with this amazing podcast. I love listening to his take on the weekly geek, and feel like he's really got his finger on the pulse (sometimes two pulses in the case of Doctor who <3 <3)

Check it out. Subscribe and listen ASAP! I'm so excited for the next one to come out already!

Great podcast sometimes a little too SJW

by
Sonofspam1972

I really like this podcast that covers a wife range of nerd/geek topics and believe me I'm just as liberal as the next guy, but i feel like sometimes the show spends too much time discussing wither something is diverse enough or it devolves into too much political stuff that drives the show off topic.
